361 Degrees KGM 2 - Men’s

The Basics

Runner’s World Review

Light, flexible, and flashy, the KgM2 is a go-fast shoe with good heel cushioning and a touch of stability from its dual-density, contoured midsole. Male testers liked the fit and comfort of the long toebox and soft, breathable mesh upper, while female testers found the shoe ran a size small. Most said the shoes didn’t provide enough support for longer runs, but the low-to-ground stance and grippy outsole made these versatile. “The shoe felt equally at home running and weight lifting,” said Nathan De Winkle of Lansing, Michigan.

We put each shoe through real-world usage and a battery of mechanical tests in our lab to provide you with objective — and exclusive — data. In addition to a shoe's weight, we measure sole thickness (everything that sits between your foot and the road), how well the foam cushions your stride, and the flexibility of the forefoot. All this is taken into account in our reviews of each shoe.
